CIVIL sERv1cG EXAMINATION.

For the first time since Utah has been
an organized Territory, its citizens have
i chance TO compete for positions under
.he government But this is perhaps
Itati the case too broadly. 1t would
De nearer the truth to say that our citi-
;ens, between certain ages, have an op-
portunity to get their names on the list
of candidates for appointment TO posi-
tions in the Federal civil service. We
don't know how many thousand names
are already on the list, and therefore
cannot even estimate the chances that
the fellow who comes out of the exam
nation successfully will have for get
ting a place; we may say, however, that
if the applicant is young man, and he
shall keep himself bright, he may get
an appointment before he is barred by
age.
Elsewhere in THE HERALD, it will be
seen that a session of the civil service
examiners will be held in this city on
Saturday, when those men between the
ages of Is and As who are ambitious
to secure government clerkships will be
put through a course of questions as
to their qualifications. II any shall
prove competent their names will be
placed on the list from which selec-
wanted. Utah, like every other State
and Territory in the Union, is entitled
TO a proportionste share of the civil
service places; she has been entitled to
that share ever since there has been .
civil service law, but the, examining
board has never held Q session here,
and We doubt that there is bona
fide citizen of Utah in any Federal
position which comes under the civil
service act. Indeed. the Blue Book
does not contain the names of half
dozen bona fde citizens of the Terri
tory-aside from postInasters-whos are
holding Federal commissions or oc-
cupying positions under the govern
ment.
Nevertheless, We hope there will be
candidates for examination. because
the community would like to show that
ithss bright, ambitious, educated young
men who are quite as we'll qualified
to perform the duties of clerks in
the departments, as are the men now
there. We ought to be able to demon
strste that the people are not behind
others in their intellectual capabilities.
We don't know that anybody here who
has the ability required wants to 90
to Washington and accept a $500 or
81, 600 clerkship; and we doubt that any
OF them will ever be asked to take such
clerkship; but, all the same, offer your
self four examination, and prove your
metal and your training, leaving the
responsibility for the continued disre-
gard of Utah with the officials of the
general government.

THE New York Herald quotes the
Commissioners of Emigation as saying,
in effect: "If your salaries are large
they shall be increased, but if your pay
IS small, God help you, we can't" This
remark was called out by the fact that
the board had just increased the salaries
of the secretary, superintendent, assist
ant superintendent and boarding house
ofhcers-who were receiving from 81 900
to $1,000 year-from 500 to $500 each
and voted down proposition to raise
the pay of lsborers from 50 to $3.50 per
day. Il is the old story-to him that
hath shall be given.

questioning of jurors which is applied
to Mormons in the matter of unlawfui
cohabitation and polygamy were ap-
piled to Gentiles in the matter of tornl-
cation and adultery, it would br good
deal more difficult than it is to obtain
jurors, and the panels would contain
fewer nom ormous and more Nor
mons.
One of these days lawyer will mus
ter courage TO crowd Gentiles as closely
as Mormons are being crowded by all
lawyers now, and when he does try it
on, there will be squealing all along the
line; there may also be perjury.

If RUMoR be true, there is deputy
registrar at Tintic who should be made
to seek the companionship of Whitbeck
and Anderson, the Nephi and Rich6eld
gentlemen who had TO walk the plank
on Tuesday. 1t is said that the Tintic
official goes even further than the re-
moved registrars went in the exhibition
of partisan zeal. He not only adopts
the Loyal League oath, but declines to
permit Mornons to take it. The atten.
ton of the Utah Commission is directed
to the fellow.

THE LATEST scheme of the Anarchists
Is to take possession of the government.
that is to say to abolish government, in
1889. The scheme contemplates revolt
in every part of the country on some
designated day. 1t will encourage the
loyal and law-sbiding people to know
that the date for this grand coup has
been fixed two years in advance. Before
that time it is expected that a good
many of the schemers will have been
hanged,

him AT that time-1S6S. The author
and e0mposer were warm friends, and
II was while both were under strong

depression that the lovely hymn and
its sweet measures We're produced, the

half an hour After being published
BY Chicago firm, however, the song
